Vent Pictures!

Ok...I changed my mind on the vent pictures because I just couldn't bring myself to document that I was truly inspecting vents!
BUT...one chickens vent is wide and moist and most of the other 23 are still round, dry, and hard to find in the mass of feathers. So dh and I scoured the property looking for an egg...any EGG! No luck! AND no eggs this morning either!

Hi cheeptrick,
i am waiting on my first egg too.
I hate to say it....but it is driving my crazy.....
I go down and sweet talk my girls and still nothing.
I know your kids are anxiously waiting......I hope it is soon for both of us.

Quote:Well, often you can do this to pick out the birds who are not laying. Even birds in molt will still have moist vents. You do it by basically turning the bird around and lifting up their tails. It is also a good way to check for bugs and lice since that's where they often hang out. Warm moist places.
